Elliott Bay Animal Hospital has a rich history that dates back to 1945, when Dr. Tom Guilfoil started the practice after World War II. Located at our current location in Seattle, Washington, our hospital began as a remodeled grocery store, which was transformed into a veterinary hospital. Over the years, our practice has undergone several remodels and expansions, quadrupling in size to accommodate our growing team of 40-45 employees, including 7 associate veterinarians.
